Soda Can is right Mac, it's all about helping others out and asking questions.
I only understand a little about the code, alot of tines you may only need to cut and paste someone else's code, you littery just plug the Arduino into your computer then and copy the code using the software.
I started off buying a cheap Arduino starter kit from eBay and following the tutorials, it was very informative.
I would be happy to help guide anyone through using a ArduinoImage

I'm good with soldering, but..

I don't know how to program the Arduino boards. I'm also not good with the schematics of the circuits between the boards. Also no good in making sure the initial circuit on the breadboard would work (I don't even know how to use one!) :erk:


I'm sticking with the flash light approach. Seems well within my capabilities.
I'm in exactly the same position as you MackUK, i have never used the arduino boards or programmed anything up as yet.
But we have to start somewhere, I'm working on a bb8 and bb9 unit with some slow but will be positive results.
It's just a matter of reading through what everyone else is doing, I've just got a cr10s 3d printer recently also, it will be great for this hobby and fun to learn along the way.
Just keep asking questions, there's no harm in doing that, that's how we all learn and help each other out.
That is also why I'm a part of this and other forums, great people offering help to us newbies along the way, then we can pass the same onto others once we've grasped the basics.
Keep up the great work centurian, and we'lllook forward to seeing your progress. :salute:

Loving all the arduino talk and starting up. Looking forward to seeing what you two cook up next.
I'd like to try something one with one or a Raspberry Pi. What fun!

Remember too keep us posted on that BB-8 and BB-9 too, Soda Can.

Hey cylon knight,
I will give updates on both my droids as soon as I come down off the mountain snowboarding in my at at costume.

This is me about 7 years ago up by the cafe on the mountain.

:loveit: IN LOVE WITH THAT!
SOOOOOOO NICE.
I got the AT-AT for my birthday one year, "back in the day." I loved the AT-AT driver figure. Your costume is SPOT ON. Be sure to post up about it too in our Star Wars section when you can. More awesome builds our members share, the better!

Where did you get the kit? I’d like to find one or get the measurements to make one out of wood
